Keratsuda is a distinctive grape variety known for producing wines of remarkable elegance and complexity. On the nose, Keratsuda typically offers a vibrant aromatic profile characterised by notes of white peach, citrus blossom, and subtle hints of green apple, underpinned by delicate mineral and herbal nuances. The palate is fresh and lively, displaying a harmonious balance between crisp acidity and a silky texture, often complemented by flavours of ripe pear, melon, and a gentle saline finish.
Keratsuda thrives predominantly in the cooler regions of Northern Greece, notably in Macedonia and Thrace, where the terroir imparts a refined minerality and expressive fruit character to the wines. Traditional vinification methods in these regions highlight the variety’s intrinsic freshness and aromatic intensity.
Wines made from Keratsuda are typically offered as dry, aromatic whites, though some producers experiment with barrel ageing and late harvest styles to enhance complexity. These wines are supremely versatile at the table, pairing exceptionally well with fresh seafood, grilled poultry, vibrant salads, mild cheeses, and Mediterranean dishes featuring herbs and citrus. Keratsuda’s elegance and structure also make it an ideal companion to sushi and lightly spiced Asian cuisine, elevating both the food and the wine experience.
